I have written lyrics to my favorite song and I want to put a video to it. Can I post it on youtube?

I wrote "hockey themed" lyrics to my favorite song %26amp; recorded it using a karaoke version of the song. It sounds pretty good and now I want add a video montage using images of my favorite players to it and put it on youtube. What kind of copyright issues will I run into? What do I need to do to gain permission from the writer of the song?

I really don't think you have anything to worry about. People add songs to their videos all the time with no worries, and that includes doing karaoke and parodies of songs.





So you're good to go!
